Oh Mob Wives, you never disappoint…completely. Last night we started seeing the breakdown of Renee and Junior, and not much of anything else.

Carla is trying to teach Drita how to flirt that doesn’t involve her comparing her biceps to those of potential suitors. They go dancing in the city, but Drita is quick to warn any men that approach her that she likes to get violent. Save that for the fourth date, Drita. At least Drita realizes, the guy she hopes to meet isn’t one of the many meat-heads who are watching her dance on the banquette. She is ready to leave after one of her dance partners cops to knowing Drita’s soon-to-be-ex Lee.

Big Ang is dining with Karen and Ramona. All of their crime families go way back, and Karen likes walking down memory lane. Ang has changed her hair. I’m on the fence about it. Big Ang tells the girls about her arrest, which occurred thanks to her friend wearing a wire. I am sheltered. I think to myself that I would be more concerned about being arrested than blaming the people who got leniency for putting me in that situation (however, I’d be mad at them too!). Own up to your mistakes, people! Big Ang kind of does…

As you know, Kim recently announced she was pregnant for a second time with husband Kroy Biermann. Just in time to start promoting that spin-off “Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding“! Rumors circulated that Kim was pregnant with another boy, but the bewigged one is claiming she hasn’t told anyone what she’s having yet!

Of course, as with all good speculation, there’s an unidentified source who claims, “They’re so excited because Kim already had two girls and now that she’s having a second son, the family will be balanced out with two of each.” However, Kim wants everyone to know that there can be no “secret source” as the couple hasn’t told anyone the baby’s gender! What better way to spread that news than via Twitter.

“@biermann71 and I JUST found out the sex of the baby a couple days ago of and we have NOT told a soul soooo all this speculation is funny!!”, Kim Tweeted. “Although I know the gender we just want a healthy baby,” she added.

Kim also confirmed that the couple has picked a baby name. “wait til u hear the new babies name we came up with it all on our own ;),” she teased.

Moving on from Kim to her former bestie, one has to wonder: Is NeNe Leakes getting too big for her britches? And by britches, I mean Atlanta. After her recent stint on Glee, it seems that the Neenster is more of a star than any of her RHOA counterparts, and she doesn’t need to follow in their footsteps (ahem, Kim and Kandi Burrus!) with a spin-off. NeNe recently shared with her followers on Twitter (where else?) that she had been approached about doing her own show, but for now she prefers “acting & talk show hosting.” Her fans don’t want her going anywhere though, as they love her on RHOA, with one tweeting, “just don’t leave #RHOA u make the show.” The always humble NeNe’s reply? “Ur right abt that because these chicks r boring.”

NeNe also used her Twitter page to show her softer side and discuss her relationship with Gregg. While the recent episodes have shown NeNe struggling with the finality of her divorce, her heart, it seems, may still be with her estranged husband. When asked by a fan if she thought that she and Gregg may be able to work through their differences, NeNe responded, “Hopefully some day! We hav [sic] an unbreakable bond.”

Not shockingly, NeNe didn’t give direct answers when responding to questions about the state of her relationship. When a fan inquired, “R u & Greg tryin 2 work things out ? I hope so u guys seem like wonderful parents,” NeNe avoided the question, but stated, “Greg is my 1 & only Tru love.”

And fear not RHOA fans, you still have a few episodes of the drama to enjoy before the reunion madness ensues! NeNe tweeted, “we have 3 more episodes then the reunion begins.”

On tonight’s episode, Kim and Cynthia are the only ladies to make it to Phaedra’s ginormous Christening party for Aiden, and the passive aggressiveness ensues when they must sit at the same table. After making some comments about the Africa trip, Cynthia and Peter dip out, with Kim going after her for a confrontation. Speaking of parties, Kim is planning a surprise party for Kroy’s homecoming. Am I the only person who is grossed out to learn that Kim dries her wigs in the microwave? Sheree helps her daughter’s boyfriend pick out an engagement ring, but here’s hoping she doesn’t scare him off with her expensive taste and advice to “work overtime” to afford it.

A new episode airs tonight at 8PM ET on Bravo. Watch a preview clip below!

THOUGHTS ON KIM’S LATEST PREGNANCY? DO YOU THINK SHE’S HAVING A BOY OR A GIRL? DO YOU THINK NENE WOULD REALLY TURN DOWN A SPIN-OFF? WILL SHE AND GREGG RECONCILE?

Last night was the last straw of the latest season of Jersey Shore, culminating in a snooze fest reunion. The season’s highlights are recapped, and everyone laughs at light-hearted jokes about GTL and Deena’s tornado. Mike and Snooki are the first two in the hot seat to discuss the did-they-or-didn’t-they hook up. This reunion was clearly filmed pre-Situation rehab.

The gang watches clips showing how Mike plotted his diabolical plan which was often thwarted in Seaside Heights. Mike claims he didn’t want to be painted as a liar. After the footage, Snooki and Mike are screaming at each other on the reunion sofa. Again, does she protest too much? Rawn is thrilled that they are the new Ronnie and Sam. JWoww stands up for Snooki from the rafters. Rawn reveals that the angrier Nicole appears, the guiltier she looks.

Rawn goes on a roid rage begging them to drop it. Snooki claims that if she was going to hook up with a roommate, it wouldn’t be Mike, it would be Vin, and she’s been there, done that. Literally. Vinny looks uncomfortable. Pauly chimes in, saying that if he had been Jionni, Mike would still be swallowing his teeth. He believes Jionni was too passive. Basically nothing is resolved…no love lost between Snookster and the Sitch.

Oh, good gracious! When the most recent season of Basketball Wives began, only Royce Reed served as a regular blogger for VH1. Of course, as the drama unfolds, the women can’t seem to stop writing on their own blogs in retaliation – each perceiving that they must, no matter what, tell their side of the story.

Case in point of late? Tami Roman. Her latest blog is entitled “It’s Not My Job to Blog BUT I’m Going to do it Anyway.” Well, if that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does…. In her blog Tami does what all those before her have done, which is to blame editing for her bad behavior! Excerpts of that insanity is below.

“Watching this episode made it official…it’s my turn to play the angry black woman. I don’t want to address [too] many things because I will see all of these ladies at the reunion and I’m much more of a face to face person, but here goes…

Suzie–I want you to pay for my next therapy session because that is what saved your life at that birthday dinner. You have a bad habit of saying the wrong stuff at the wrong time. Now, I have forgiven you for that brief glitch in your brain, but that is the absolute LAST time you’re going to get a pass. I do like you and I know you are “simple” at times, so I’m willing to put this past us.

Kenya–You hit the nail on the head and you know I think your ass is crazy, but you SAID that last night. I’m not a bad person, but I deal with people a certain way and I try to be upfront. I asked both you and Kesha to just come talk to me…you did that and she didn’t. I don’t respect a woman who isn’t forthright, especially at 30 something years old. Regarding your speech…girl go sit the hell down. That ish was crazy! You don’t even know Shaunie like that – you had been around her all of two times when you made that speech. It was supposed to be heartfelt, but you made it really awkward for her at her own party. Although, I hope they show you singing…now that was classic…

Jennifer–In the moment, your apology seemed sincere, but watching it back…girl, why you lie in my face…Sidebar: Your speech was comical. People really had to hear the whole thing because between you and Kenya, I have NEVER seen anything like it. You made a speech about yourself and tried to pass it off as something special to Shaunie. I hope VH1 releases the uncut version of some of these moments. I’m just saying…”

Sidebar, I am not a Tami fan (that’s not really fair to say, as I’m not really on board with any of these women), but I am glad to hear that Tami saw what I saw in Jen’s balcony “apology” to Tami, regarding Jen’s Lucid launch. Fake much? Jen needs some acting lessons.

“Royce and Kesha–That little meeting in the country store – again the main crux of my beef with Kesha was edited out. In that moment Kesha said she would’ve went off on me, but she didn’t want to embarrass me. I see where this show is going and I have to take the good with the bad. Kesha will be the “edited” version of a victim and I will be made to look like the angry Black woman or the bully. It is what it is because I accept full responsibility for my REACTIONS. Other than that, NO words, speechless…I can’t…”

When–pray tell WHEN??–will these women stop blaming editing? You aren’t edited when you act like a fool, why should viewers believe that somehow, some way, you’re kindness and normalcy has been edited OUT of the show? Gracious. Again and again, gracious.

“Evelyn–Your face was priceless last night! Now here is the thing…you nor I handle things properly once we get heated….That clutch to the dome was funny as hell though. Your aim, the precision…chiiiilllleeeee.

PS- Shed and the editors, whatever Kesha is paying you, I’ll double it just so the viewers can get the truth. I can’t wait to see how you screw me over with the Tahiti footage.”

I do love to see how Tami and Evelyn’s friendship has blossomed…it’s like the girls in high school who try so hard to get in good with the girls who they know can bring them down if they aren’t careful. Remind me again that these are grown women? Tami challenging the editors? Yikes!

Giving Tami’s frenemy Royce Reed equal blog time, she has some choice things to say as well. Royce is actually extremely diplomatic in her blog, admitting that she was wrong in judging Evelyn’s intentions when it came to Kesha and touting her friendship with Tami…strange after the pair’s most recent debacle. She even takes offense to Suzie’s “bank account/food stamps” comment on behalf of Tami. My favorite outtakes follow:

“Jen, there are bougie country girls. That statement was a bit much and I’m sure a lot of people in the Carolinas aren’t feeling you right now. Not sure if you watch RHOA but Phaedra is the epitome of a bougie country girl…love herrrrr!!!

Next the conversation I had with Tami shows the strength in our friendship. Although Tami is upset with me presently, I don’t think it’s that serious. I came to her and expressed my feelings. If we are friends, I should be able to talk to her about any and everything including when I think she’s wrong. The conversation didn’t seem to go anywhere but I didn’t leave with scars and bruises so it still went well. It’s good to be able to agree to disagree, laugh it up and go to Lario’s for some ceviche right after.

Now enough of the cookie cutter stuff…It’s time to discuss The Birthday Dinner…dun dun dunnnn
OMG! First of all who let Evelyn have all those shots of liquid courage??? Y’all know how things get when people get a few drinks in them. This whole dinner was a mess. From the toast Kenya didn’t need to give to the second toast Evelyn gave slurring her words. I’m just shocked that they did all this in Phillipe Chow! But seriously though, did Jenn call Evelyn a bird? Did Evelyn tell Jenn to take the contacts out her face???? LMAO “I can’t” No, it wasn’t the time or the place to have all this drama but it was funny! When the yelling started it was definitely time to leave…BUT not without a memorable exit. All I have to say is HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO GET HIT BY A CLUTCH PURSE???Never turn or keep your back turned to an enemy…and you damn sure don’t stay sitting when they’re standing up coming towards you. We need to get Jenn is some basic self defense classes. I’m going to need her to at least learn how to bob and weave…just sayin…”

I do have to add my two cents…was Royce watching Jen react to Tami in regard to the Lucid launch? Nothing was resolved and I don’t think anything was “cleared up.” But I do have to agree, as a Carolina girl, Jen has no clue what she’s talking about when she brings up “the country.” I’d be happy to show her around. If nothing else, these women are incredibly entertaining, and I am looking forward to the rest of the season!

Royce also posted an old school picture of pal Kesha, and let’s just say, you want to see this! That photo is below.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TAMI’S BLOG? COMMENTS ON HER “EDITING” ACCUSATIONS? THOUGHTS ON ROYCE’S BLOG? IS SHE JUST TRYING TO GET BACK IN TAMI’S GOOD GRACES?

It’s been the battle of the Basketball Wives blogs after the latest episode, with the duo formerly known Jenevelyn (or Evennifer, if you prefer) duking it out via their personal blogs about birthday toasts, food stamps, and Evelyn swatting Jen in the head with her clutch. No biggie.

Jennifer Williams discusses why she seems different this season, defends her toast to Shaunie O’Neal by blaming the ever blamable “editing,” and vows to rise above the drama. Good luck with that! She writes, “Where do I start? Let’s just say the drinks were flowing and that is normally when things go left. First off, my speech was not about myself it was about how I thought Shaunie was a good example for me to look at because I feel she made the best out of a negative situation and she is now happy. But again, the beauty of editing!”

“As you have watched me for three seasons now, I am never the loudest one in the room, I do not try to be nor do I want the focus on me,” Jen explains. “Overall, I think what happened at Phillipes was immature and unfortunate. Sadly, sometimes when the red light on the camera comes on you never what you are going to get. I call it the Red Light Special! ‘You ain’t about this life.’ Hmmm, what life is that? The life I am about is trying to be happy and making strides to be an independent woman. Overall, I hope Shaunie enjoyed her birthday despite the drama!”

Next, Jen addresses her cast members accusations that she’s a different person. “’Jennifer has changed.’ Now all of a sudden if I’m out in NYC with my friends outside of the show it’s a problem? It is refreshing to not have to talk about the drama of Basketball Wives all the time. And we all have friends outside of the show. I have always split my time between Miami and NYC so its obvious I am going to have friends here,” she states.

Jen concludes, “I am single and why not enjoy myself? It’s so easy to point the finger and say what someone else has done but try pointing it at yourself and see what happens. We all have flaws and make mistakes. All I can say is I am happy with the direction my life has gone and the family and friends who now play a role in my life, I am not going to let the pettiness upset me.”

Evelyn Lozada also dishes on the episode in her blog, revealing why the women seemed rude laughing at Kenya Bell’s speech, Suzie Ketcham’s “food stamps” comment, and her drama with Jen. Of course, she blames her behavior on the second oldest reality show excuse–wait for it–the a-a-a-a-al-alcohol! She begins, “The reason why we were laughing during Kenya’s speech is because that was only our third time filming with her so for her to even feel like she wanted to give a speech, shocked the sh*t out of us. We didn’t know Kenya from a can of paint and it was all very strange.”

Surprisingly, Evelyn cuts Suzie some slack about her food stamps faux pas, writing, “Oh Suzie…that alcohol is a BEAST. You know, I grew up on welfare; I had my daughter on welfare and on WIC. No one wants to be reminded of those hardships during a birthday dinner in front of everyone. However, if Suzie were sober, she would have NEVER said that.”

“Listen, I am going to be all the way real!” Evelyn continues, “We were all having a cool time and I was buzzed prior to the second toast to Shaunie, so I know how Suzie must have felt because had I been sober, I would have never given that second speech. I’m glad I made that comment about loyalty though because being a ‘loyal friend’ is important to me and Shaunie has been a loyal friend that has NEVER changed.”

Evelyn explains, “What makes me so angry is that Jen really doesn’t get it and she keeps telling people she doesn’t understand why I’m so angry. AGAIN, when you are supposed to be a LOYAL friend, you just don’t go popping off at the mouth on the radio or turn to a blog to talk crap about your friend and her man. Jen isn’t the type of person to sincerely apologize and this is where a portion of my anger lies.”

“Jen’s thought process really is that transparent!” exclaims Evelyn. “Because she’s a college graduate and grew up a certain [way] she thinks she’s better than everyone else. My thing is, even if that was my situation, I would never talk down to anyone else or ever talk about someone’s livelihood or how much money they have in the bank during an argument. I don’t care about any of those things and would never attack where someone came from.” Doesn’t care about any of those things? Could have fooled me!

Evelyn sums it up, revealing, “There is so much going on behind the scenes that you guys don’t see. It may look like I’m getting angry for no reason but there is so much more to the story and I can’t WAIT for you all to see the real deal. As the show progresses I promise you ALL will have an A-HA moment and be truly AMAZED.”

There was one juicy little nugget from Evelyn’s blog that wasn’t about that horrendous dinner. It appears to be a bit of a threat to cast mate Royce Reed. She writes, “Who the hell does Royce think she is, Dr. F’N Phil, with all of her opinions. Tami [Roman] has been nothing but loyal to Royce and in my opinion is the only reason Royce is still even relevant. I’m just saying. She needs to be real careful with that.” First of all, all this “I’m just saying” BS needs to go away. Who does Evelyn think she is, Danielle Staub? Second, does that sound like a threat to y’all?

Speaking of Evelyn, she’s got some new t-shirts to hawk, so get out your checkbooks! The newest spring break tank top is all about “You Ain’t About This Life!” You really have to admire a woman who can run her mouth in a fit of rage and then turn around to make a t-shirt out of whatever she screamed out during a fight. You can purchase them evelynlozada.com. See pictures below.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE LADIES’ BLOGS? DO YOU THINK JEN’S SPEECH WAS THE PRODUCT OF BAD EDITING? COMMENTS ON EVELYN’S STATEMENT? WILL YOU BE BUYING ONE OF HER LATEST SHIRTS?

I hope you tuned in to last night’s Survivor, if for no other reason than to see how much more awful Colton could behave.

After voting off Monica, mean girls Colton and Alicia tell Christina that she has no friends and no allies. Colton compares her to a cockroach after a nuclear war, surviving things she shouldn’t have and suggests she form an alliance with a hermit crab. The duo won’t let Christina have any space in their shelter. Alicia feels the need to get some jabs in at Christina’s expense so Colton doesn’t think she’s too soft. I can’t BELIEVE she teaches special ed. For shame.

It’s been a tad chilly at night on the island, and Salani awakens to a clue that promises childhood backyard shenanigans and potential sweet treats. Kat had a dream where she was murdered by Alicia at the mall. Troyzan is just thrilled he’s not on the misfit Manono tribe.

Last night’s Basketball Wives finally gave us some new venues for the ladies one-on-one and two-on-one chats. There is farm scenery and four-wheeling. Cocktails are enjoyed on a balcony, walks are taken on the beach, and I think I even saw some roller blades. Sure there were the regular bar and restaurant chats, but gracious, if they are going to stick to this format, I am thankful they mixed it up just a little.

The women are back in Miami, and mean girls Evelyn and Tami meet with their leader Shaunie to brag about their Kesha bashing dinner. Evelyn touts her $h!t sniffing abilities when it comes to getting the dirt on people. At least the first part sounds about right. Shaunie is having a birthday dinner and wants all the ladies in attendance. She admits to Evelyn that Jen will also be at the celebration. Evelyn knows she’s going to be uber-uncomfortable, but she’s willing to be in that situation for her friend…just don’t let her have more than two drinks. Tami asks to be seated across the table from Jen and Evelyn so she can watch all the drama unfold from the front row.

When we last left the Mob Wives, the ladies were in the midst of a bar brawl in the Poconos. Renee is being her normal dramalicious self, but as soon as the guy she’s arguing with becomes overly insulting, her friends are up in his face as well. The patron is kicked out by security, and Renee decides to call Junior, screaming at him to come and retrieve her from this hell known as nature.

Carla is now left at Shenanigans with Ramona and Karen. Immediately, the “cousins” start touting Carla for being so loyal to Drita. Oh great, thinks Carla. She didn’t sign up to be part of a Drita basins session. Ramona states that she’s thrilled Carla has joined their team, but her face turns totally sour when Karen cites that Carla is just “Team Carla.” Luckily, Carla gets a much-needed break when Karen and Ramona decide it’s time to sing karaoke and make a mockery of Louis Vuitton.
